AB  - The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) is a poverty alleviation program of the Philippine national government that aims to solve the problems of short-term and intergenerational poverty by dispensing conditional cash grants and investing in the children?s health and education respectively. Since its launch in 2007, the program has led to a poverty reduction rate of 1.4 percentage points which equates to 1.5 million ?less poor? Filipinos. However, there persist issues of adequacy and effectiveness of the program to achieve its intended goal of breaking intergenerational poverty in a country that sits at the Pacific Ring of Fire that faces a high risk of calamities per year compelling families to utilize the cash grants for disaster reparation instead of its intended purpose. Using narrative thematic analysis as adapted from Creswell?s (2013) framework, this qualitative case study employs participant interviews that include the program?s key informants, to examine the challenges faced and the distinct strategic adjustments executed by the involved delivery unit, as well as the program?s beneficiaries in relation to their access to services during crises. Specifically, the study probes the locality of Cebu City, a metropolitan city that was badly struck by two recent disasters, the COVID-19 pandemic and Supertyphoon Odette. Following the results of the themes and narratives, the paper proposes a comprehensive, integrative, and sustainable policy recommendation output in the form of the FEAR Framework that aims to aid the national and local government units, to ?future-proof? 4Ps as a poverty alleviation program that shall withstand tough crisis situations moving forward.
